Yeah I really want to live as close as possible and know well to avoid i35. I was thinking possibly Boone if I can't find anything we are looking for in Ames.
Nevada and Huxley are slightly closer than Boone. But you shouldn't have too much trouble finding a place in Ames. Though Boone is close to Ledges, which is nice for hiking!
YaY! I don't have to give up my hoodie collection?!
You are jumping the gun. 🙂 The deadline for acceptances isn't until April 15, and then OASA needs to get the waitlist admits in to get the class filled. They want to send out as few mass emails as possible, so yeah, you'll probably get stuff in May.
This is great to know!
You gets shots day 1, 7, and either 21 or 28, so about a month to complete. Proof of vaccination is due in July, but there's also a vaccination clinic in the fall of students can't get it done by July!
In addition to what fredandcessna said, there is a summer rabies vax clinic going on, too, on June 1, 8, and 22. I believe if you want to attend this one, though, you need to make sure to RSVP; there should be information about it on the website as well as the Facebook page!
There's a facebook group called Vet Med Buy, Sell, + Trade (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1574956366092361/) that has some listed. My guess would be that those are already listed on the sites you mentioned. Driving around the trailer park is another way to find things for sale if you're in the area. I know that both me and a friend bought trailers that weren't listed on those sites but had for sale signs up in the yard.
Im not able to join that group 🙁 I think you need an iastate email to join? I got to sdsu in south dakota currently. I am driving around tho 🙂 thank you!
If you live in the trailer park, you'll be able to walk to the vet school no matter what the weather's like - it is quite literally next door. You'll need a car to go grocery shopping though, unless you make arrangements to go with someone else every week.
There is a bus system that is free to students but its a bit harder for vet students because you have to transfer from the in town routes to the vet school connector if you are trying to get from your house to the vet school. The larger grocery store (HyVee) in town that has two sites also has a delivery service. Hope that helps.
If you don't get a car, you can't end up in a ditch after the first big snowstorm of the year. 🙂
If you do have a car, how much does it cost to park at the school?
$143 per academic year. If you work at school over the summer, you need to get a summer permit too, which is $35 I think.
It took a little under a week for me, but I'm also pretty close to Iowa. So it could be a bit longer if you're further away.
I'm an Iowa resident and ISU undergrad and it took about three days for me!
One of the girls in my class commuted from Boone (her parents lived there) - so free room and board. She had no problems. Another woman and her husband lived in Nevada (another nearby town).
I got a confirmation email on my essay this week. I thought the original message said they would notify awards around April 1st
Congratulations! 🙂 Will you be accepting the offer?
Thank you! Yes I will be. I am so grateful I found this out before the deadline because I would have lost my deposit for another school.
Woot woot! Don't forget to join the Facebook group! People are posting about housing on there. 🙂
